Purchased A Mr. Right -
Chapter 887
To prove what he said was true, Simon deliberately turned his pocket to show her the long knife cut on it.
Emily looked at him from a distance and said, "I only have one bedroom!"
"I don't mind!" Simon raised her eyebrows. Seeing that she pursed her lips, he stopped joking and said in a serious tone, "I can sleep on the sofa!"
"..." Emily frowned.
Simon frowned when seeing her cold face and lowered his beautiful eyes. Even his voice seemed to be lowered a little. "The embassy must have been closed long ago. You can't be so hard-hearted to let me wander alone in the street, can you?"
Emily really could not bear to hear that.
In a foreign country, Emily might help a stranger in distress who came from the same country with her, not to mention he was once her husband.
Emily gently clenched her hands on her sides. After struggling for a few seconds, she agreed and said, "Okay, you can stay!"
"Great! Then I'll go and take a shower first!" Simon said after hearing this.
Then, the tall and straight figure strode straight to the bathroom.
Soon, there came the sounds of running water.
After taking a brief shower, Simon, wrapped in a bath towel, came out. Meanwhile, Emily happened to push open the bedroom door and came out with a pillow in her arms.
Simon thought the pillow was for him. When he was about to pick it up, he heard her faint voice. "Simon, you don't have to sleep on the sofa. I can lend you the bed. I'll go to spend the night with the female colleague next door!"
She agreed to let him stay because she did not have the heart to drive away a man from the same country.
After their baby was gone, she told him that she would never again live under the same roof with him. Even under such a special circumstance, she did not want to live in the same room with him. So when she allowed him to stay here, she had already decided to stay with the girl next door tonight.
Misha Desmond was from the south of Country C. She looked like a cheerful and enthusiastic girl. Emily thought she might take her in.
As soon as she finished speaking, Emily walked to the vestibule without giving him any time to react, as straightforward as when she opened the door for him.
Simon had never expected her to leave. For a long while, he remained speechless. Soon, he heard a "bang" sound of the door closing.
Just as Emily had expected, Misha welcomed her and even chatted with her for a long time that night. Only when the sun rose the next day did she return to her dormitory.
"Miss Sam!"
When she heard someone calling her, Emily, who was about to knock on the door, turned around.
Sure enough, it was the foreign woman who received her yesterday. It might because of her dark skin, her teeth looked white and clean when she smiled. Emily was puzzled and asked, "What's the matter?" "Nothing! I just wanted to say thank you. When your husband went to throw garbage downstairs, he saw that I could not lift the heavy delivery and helped me carry it up here!" She smiled more friendly than yesterday.
"My husband?" Emily was shocked, thinking that she might have misheard.
"Yes!" The foreign woman nodded. "He is a tall and handsome young man surnamed Chin, and he is a doctor from your country. He said that he is your husband, and I just saw him come back to your dormitory!"
"..." Emily raised her hand to press her pulsing temples.
"Remember to send my gratitude to your husband. Thank you, and please take the two oranges!" The foreign woman did not know the history between them, so she put the oranges into Emily's hands and said with a smile before going back, "There's still more than an hour before work. You'd better go back and have a good time with him!"
Emily opened her mouth, but she did not have time to explain.
She raised her hand to knock on the door, and soon footsteps came from inside.
As soon as Simon opened the door for her, the tall and straight figure quickly turned around and walked back to the open kitchen before she could make any sound. There were two steaming instant noodles upon the bar. It seemed that Simon just finished making them. The room was filled with the tantalizing aroma of noodles. "Emily, come and eat noodles!"
Simon, holding a disposable fork, was picking the noodles inside the box. "I know you can't get used to the local food here. Before boarding, I bought a few boxes of instant noodles. Eat them for the time being I'll go to the supermarket later and buy some ingredients to cook for you!"
"..." Emily pursed her lips.
She wanted to say thank you indifferently and ignore him, but she was too hungry to refuse the noodles.
After getting off the plane yesterday, she barely ate anything. Indeed, she was not used to the local food. Now, the familiar fragrant smell of the instant noodles had a strong appeal to her. How about leaving the noodles there? No way! She did not want to treat herself badly.
Last night, she let him live in her room, so she might as well eat the bowl of instant noodles.
Emily pulled out the chair and took the bowl.
She lowered her head to eat. But just after eating two mouthfuls, she had no choice but to raise her head again. This was because after she sat down, the pair of peach blossom eyes opposite her had locked tightly on her face. It was difficult for her to pretend that she did not notice anything.
Emily swallowed the noodles in her mouth and asked directly, "Simon, when are you going back?"
"I won't go back!" Simon answered without hesitation.
Hearing this, Emily opened her eyes wide in great surprise.
Simon continued with his eyes fixed on her. "The director of my hospital agreed that I could take the annual leave. You've been too sad since we lost our baby. You did not want to stay in Ice city anymore and moved to Country S. Well, I won't force you to say, but please let me accompany you! If my annual leave is not long enough, I ask for more free days. Wherever you go, I can accompany you!" "Simon, I don't need you!" Emily clenched the plastic fork in her hand.
Her chest rose and fell slightly, but her face became expressionless, and she lost all her appetite. "I'm full. It's up to you to decide where you want to stay, whether it was Country S or Country N. I don't care. After all, I can't change your mind!"
With this, she lowered her head to look at her watch. Her tone was indifferent without any fluctuations. "I'm going to dress up now and go to work. In another half an hour, the embassy will open, and you can go to get a new passport or any identification. Then you can get a room at the inn! After you leave, you can place the key below the doormat!"
After that, Emily walked back to her bedroom with a poker face.
Within two minutes, she went out with a new set of clothes. Then, she directly walked past him and left the apartment quickly.
The TV station she worked at was medium-sized. In addition to some local staff, many employees here were from cities of different countries. Unexpectedly, there were two more colleagues from Country C in her department, but they were all male.
When she checked in the dormitory yesterday, she had known Misha, who was living next door. To her surprise, she was also her workmate in the same department. With her here, Emily quickly adjusted herself to the working situation.
